A unique documentary. A powerful and dreadful experience. A rare insight into an isle of desperate hope in the ocean of misery called “South Sudan”. A testimony, to the lives of some of the most unfortunate victims of Africa’s longest war and the few Westerners that came to their aid.

Former Israeli television journalist Erez T Yanuv Barzilay witnessed the horrific situation in southern Sudan during two visits in 1993 and 1998.

“These immense scenes of human suffering are haunting me to this day. Especially knowing not much has changed during the past 50 years. The misfortune has only spread to the adjacent Darfur region, a bit further north,” writes Erez in the non-narrated film’s closing remarks.
